issues we still need to talk about where the parties are far apart so that we need detailed concentrated negotiations so we've jointly decided that we won't be talking to the nineteen instead we're back here at ten tomorrow to concentrate solidly on continue talks and press on with our deliberations. are as they've given themselves the night off their meeting back up tomorrow what topics are still causing trouble here. was the main obstacles now live really in social policy more specifically with those limited work contracts in germany and also with health insurance reforms now the c.d.u. in the c.s.u. the two conservative parties in these talks have ruled out any sweeping changes to that health insurance system which is something that the s.p.d. are demanding so that really could be a deal breaker in these talks could be

a deal breaker does that mean the grand coalition talks could still fall apart in the coalition would fail. without doubt even with the negotiations continue in tomorrow there's nothing to say that we'll see a grand coalition deal on the table of course that's a scenario where the chancellor angela merkel definitely doesn't want to see this and she'd only be left with the choice of lead in a minority government which is ruled out on several occasions or we might even see snap elections here in germany all right a lot can still happen that's political correspondent kate already thanks very much . under the thousands of groups of protesters in athens against a potential deal with neighboring macedonia over that country's official name of greece's opposed its neighbors use the name macedonia since it became independent from yugoslavia in one thousand nine hundred one athens has said it suggest a territorial claim on its own northern province of macedonia but now the chairside
